For new business owners, establishing brand awareness, launching new products and standing apart from competition is no easy task. Marketers at emerging brands are inherently time poor and often operate on shoestring budgets, so breaking into crowded markets and reaching consumers is a considerable challenge. Hiring marketing staff or third-party advertising agencies is an expensive investment and a luxury for most SMBs, so how can new brands make a big splash given their limited bandwidth and resources?
